So I joined up here on wed. For about a week or so I had been waking up w pain deep down my throat. The pain didn't allow for sleep. I haven't been x-ray'd yet but I have put myself on a full liquid diet. No pain since.

A little background, I was banded in nov. 2010. I reached my goal in Jan 2012. 140 pounds total loss. I recently became lazy and I guess felt invisible and fell off the wagon, binging at night. I'm ashamed and embarrassed and now nervous I caused some serious damage. In august I had an episode. For a few days I felt stuck everytime I ate. I had a short stint of drinking while eating when I was on vacation. I feel terrible. I should know better. My band was a gift and I'm so scared I ruined it...

Thanks... I should read up on gallbladder issues. But to answer ur question I find that tracking my calories even if I go grossly over helps so much. My fitness pal is a godsend

I guess gallbladder problems are very common. I knew something big was wrong when I just couldn't get enough sleep.

The other symptoms were all something too but I never was a sleeper!

As it sounds like your gall bladder call your Dr for Referral to get a ultrasound or even better a hida scan.

How was your appointment...

I have my scope scheduled for Wednesday.. But now living on long island I'm dealing with the aftermath of sandy.. No gas and the clinic is an hour away. I'm hoping I can still make the appointment... But there's this stupid gas, ice shortage and many of us are still w/o power (we're one of the few lucky ones) so I'll update soon...

Going to now test the gallbladder and check fro stones! So thrilled it's not my band!!!

Thank you for taking time to post to us. God help you all!

Glad everything was OK with your band, and I hope y'all are recovering from Sandy. I live in Louisiana, so we're passingly familiar with hurricanes, and my heart just broke seeing all the devastation Sandy caused.
